Question 1

What is the minimum budget to buy property through Muse Selection?

Accepted Answer

€1.5 million. The catalogue runs from €1.5M (well-positioned apartments in Marbella centre or Puerto Banús) to approximately €40M (private estates in La Zagaleta and Cascada de Camoján). For €500K–€1.5M, our sister brand Muse Marbella covers the same coast.

Question 2

Do you charge buyers a fee?

Accepted Answer

No. Our fee is paid by the seller, in line with Spanish real-estate convention. Buyers pay only the legal and administrative costs of the purchase — approximately 10–12% of the price total (ITP 7% on resale, notary, registry, lawyer).

Question 3

Can I view residences without flying in?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We produce private video walk-throughs, drone footage, and a verbal walk on a live call with a principal of the firm. For shortlist residences, a member of the desk attends in person on your behalf and reports back the same day. In-person viewing in Marbella remains the final step.

Question 4

How do off-market residences work?

Accepted Answer

The advisory holds approximately 300 residences shown only by introduction — typically because the owner does not want a public listing. They are presented as a dossier (photographs, plan, provenance, conditions) and shown in person to one or two qualified principals at a time.

Question 5

Is the Golden Visa still available?

Accepted Answer

No. Spain abolished the Golden Visa programme on 3 April 2025. Residence by property investment alone is no longer possible. The four active routes are the Non-Lucrative Visa, Digital Nomad Visa, Beckham Law (for employees) and the Entrepreneur Visa.

Question 6

In which languages do you work?

Accepted Answer

English, Spanish, and Russian — natively in all three. Site, dossiers, Curator and Concierge are available in each. French and German on request.

Question 7

Where are your offices?

Accepted Answer

Two offices in Marbella centre. The principal office is at Avenida Arias Maldonado 2, 29602 Marbella, two streets from the Old Town. Appointments by introduction.

Question 8

How do I begin?

Accepted Answer

The fastest path is the Curator — describe what you are looking for in a structured brief and it returns three to five matches against the live catalogue in seconds. Or write directly to info@musemarbella.es with a note of your brief and how you found us.
